Nick Van Exel informally announced on Wednesday that he will retire at season's end.
?This will be my last season, so I?ve got to try to make as many as I can,? the Portland Trail Blazers guard said after hitting 6 three-pointers, including two clutch ones late in his team?s 104-95 victory at the Bradley Center. ?I?m done. That?s a wrap.?
Van Exel finished the game with 26 points in just 30 minutes of play.
?You?ve got to take what he says,? Cheeks said. ?If he says it?s over, it?s over. But I?m just saying from my end, not his end, it isn?t.?
